QuietRevolution wind turbine for metropolitan locations
Perking up the traditional heavy Turbines, Quiet Revolution Ltd is about to commence its QR5, the new compact QuietRevolution wind turbine, with triple-helix and VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbine) design to extract power from the winds frequently changing directions due to towering constructions, to fit into a metropolitan location even without a glitch.
Owing to slow tip speed, the QR5 is more hushed than noisy conventional wind turbines and the use of LEDS and QuietRevolution Display is certainly a revolution over traditional wind turbines.
As far as cost and measurements are concerned, priced at £25,000, including the integrated control electronics, peak power tracking, auto shutdown, generator etc..., the QR5 is 5m high and 3.1m in diameter, whereas, two other models, the OR2.5 (2.5m x 2.5m) and the QR12 (12m x 6m), are under construction as well.
